Robotics-

Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering and science that includes mechanical

engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and others. Robotics deals with the design,
construction, operation, and use of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory
feedback, and information processing.

Need for robots-

The world needs robots for a countless number of reasons, including hazardous jobs and
automated manufacturing. Robots work without breaks or the need to sleep or eat, allowing
manufactures to streamline processes and improve output. Robots are employed in roles ranging
from cleaning up dangerous waste and chemical spills to disarming bombs and protecting
soldiers in the field. New, humanoid robots and "exo-suits," originally designed for military use,
are now being developed in the private sector for uses ranging from manual labor to helping
those with handicaps and mobility issues.

Robots also provide a level of precision that is unmatched by the human hand, and one which is
repeatable over indefinite time frames. These characteristics make them ideal for precision
cutting, welding and assembly processes. Robots are also revolutionizing medical procedures,
allowing many types of surgery to be performed with non-invasive, out-patient procedures, as
opposed to traditional procedures requiring longer recovery times. Medical robots are now so
advanced that they are being employed in brain, heart and eye surgeries, allowing doctors to treat
conditions that were previously only possible through treatments nearly as dangerous as the
offending condition.

Interactive robots-
Human–robot interaction has been a topic of both science fiction and academic speculation even
before any robots existed. Robots are artificial agents with capacities of perception and action in
the physical world often referred by researchers as workspace. Their use has been generalized in
factories but nowadays they tend to be found in the most technologically advanced societies in
such critical domains as search and rescue, military battle, mine and bomb detection, scientific
exploration, law enforcement, entertainment and hospital care.

Advantages-
 Basic interaction
 Notification reminders
 Entertaining

Disadvantages-
 Limited memory
 Needs frequent maintenance
 Slow processing
 Delicate (cannot be handled roughly)
 Cannot be used on every terrain and texture
